2Chronicles 1-9 2CHRONICLES 1-9 The PURPOSE: 30 is an opportunity to learn and develop the discipline of meditation on the Word of God through the loving sacrifice of one half hour each weekday for six weeks. Thirty days of thirty minutes seeking the Lord in his perfect revelation. The PLAN: Choose your window: You can utilize any 30 minutes, knowing that daily consistency will help. There is discipline, joy, and sacrifice in giving your finest and most alert 30 minutes for the task. Grab a pencil: One of the great blessings of the Word on paper is that we are free to interact with the text. Take notes. Connect thoughts. Doodle the image of your mind’s eye. Ask questions. This is more than an exercise in reading, it is your head and your heart’s interaction with God through his inerrant, inspired Word. Put down your Bible: WHAT?!? Even the plainest Bible comes with distractions. Introductions, maps, diagrams, scholar’s notes, chapter and section headings – these all color our time in the Word, sometimes eliminating the need/desire to interact with God. For this exercise, use the text provided in the packet, which is the ESV text of 2Chronicles, nearly free of section breaks and distraction. Engage: Every day, read from the beginning up to and including the verses for the day. This keeps context fresh in your mind and deepens your understanding of previous days’ study. The object is to discern the message of the text in light of the entire book. Your primary question is: what has God said in these verses? Notice, the object is NOT to discern your opinion of the text. Your favorite part is irrelevant until you’ve understood the text. Grabbing a favorite without understanding the meaning leads to eisegesis, which is injecting your own meaning into the text. 30 is aimed at defeating eisegesis, replacing it with exegesis, which is pulling the meaning out of the text – discovering what God has said. Pray: Take your questions to God – the Holy Spirit is our first and best teacher (1Corinthians 1:6-16). Take your concerns to God – if you are honest with the Word, there will be parts you love and parts you just don’t like. Ask for the wisdom to understand. Take your joys to God – celebrate what is true in Christ. Revelation 21:1-4: Spend your closing minutes praying through Revelation 21:1-4. Keep the heart of the day’s verses in mind. Consider: What do you now know to be true that makes this passage more authentic and satisfying? How can you praise God in prayer and song because of today’s verses? Interact: Join a brother or sister in Christ to interact with the text. We will be offering opportunities each week to do this. 30 minutes TOGETHER, for practice, for strength, for encouragement, for accountability. Thirty minutes represents 0.3% of your week. Claim these opportunities during this 30 season and be blessed by one another. REVELATION 21:1-4 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:1-4 (ESV) 2CHRONICLES 1-9 Day by Day Plan Week 1 Week 4 Day 01 : 2Chronicles 1:1-6 Day 16 : 2Chronicles 6:12-27 Day 02 : 2Chronicles 1:7-13 Day 17 : 1Kings 8:22-40 Day 03 : 2Chronicles 1:14-17 Day 18 : 2Chronicles 6:28-7:3 Day 04 : 2Chronicles 2:1-10 Day 19 : 1Kings 8:41-66 Day 05 : 2Chronicles 2:11-18 Day 20 : Psalm 132 Week 2 Week 5 Day 06 : 2Chronicles 3:1-17 Day 21 : 2Chronicles 7:4-10 Day 07 : 1Kings 6:1-22 Day 22 : 2Chronicles 7:11-22 Day 08 : 1Kings 6:23-38 Day 23 : 1Kings 9:1-9 Day 09 : 2Chronicles 3:1-17 Day 24 : 2Chronicles 8:1-18 Day 10 : 1Kings 7:1-12 Day 25 : 1Kings 9:10-28 Week 3 Week 6 Day 11 : 2Chronicles 4:1-10 Day 26 : 2Chronicles 9:1-12 Day 12 : 2Chronicles 4:11-5:1 Day 27 : 2Chronicles 9:13-28 Day 13 : 2Chronicles 5:2-14 Day 28 : 1Kings 11:1-8 Day 14 : 1Kings 8:1-11 Day 29 : 1Kings 11:9-43 Day 15 : 2Chr. 6:1-11; 1Ki. 8:12-21 Day 30 : 2Chronicles 9:29-31 HELPS Notes and Scribbles Helps as you engage: Chronicles was originally written as a single unit. It was divided by the Greeks in order to highlight first the life of David. In Hebrew, the title is Events of the Days. Our title, Chronicles, comes from the Latin translation. Chronicles is the FINAL book of the Hebrew Scriptures. Our Bibles are ordered differently. It serves as the first Bible commentary, raising afresh the history of Israel. No one is sure of the author, though many believe Ezra penned the book around the 4th century BC, centuries after David. When reading larger narrative portions for devotion, your thought process will vary from reading a New Testament epistle. There are NO accidents in Scripture. Therefore, every narrative has a meaning and an application for the life of the believer. That being the case, consider the following lines of questioning. What is God doing in these verses? How is what God is doing magnified in the person of Christ? How should a believer respond? How is the image of God on display in man? How is the brokenness of man on display? Where is redemption needed? How does Christ satisfy these needs? Why travel to a parallel passage today? How is the parallel passage the same? Different? What do the differences communicate? Write a summary sentence or thought for each day’s reading to build a brief synopsis! Obviously you won’t use all of these helps every day. But try to use all of them at least once during the 30-day stretch. You’ll find each help will cast a different light on the passage, many serving to work together to bring deeper meaning to the truth in Christ. 2CHRONICLES 1-9 (WITH SELECTED PASSAGES) 2CHRONICLES 1:1 Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and made him exceedingly great. 2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders in all Israel, the heads of fathers’ houses. 3 And Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon, for the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness, was there. 4 (But David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.) 5 Moreover, the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the LORD. And Solomon and the assembly sought it out. 6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it. 7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” 8 And Solomon said to God, “You have shown great and steadfast love to David my father, and have made me king in his place. 9 O LORD God, let your word to David my father be now fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth. 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?” 11 God answered Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked for possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked for long life, but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you riches, possessions, and honor, such as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like.” 13 So Solomon came from the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem. And he reigned over Israel. 14 Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 15 And the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephelah. 16 And Solomon’s import of horses was from Egypt and Kue, and the king’s traders would buy them from Kue for a price.

    II Samuel 8:1-18 Lesson #9, David‟s victories and officers The Israelites were surrounded by powerful enemies who had a special hatred of their nation. David, like the Messiah after him must destroy all of his and his people‟s enemies (Lk 20:43). II Samuel 8 tells us of victorious wars against the Philistines, against Moab, against Zobah, against Syria, against Amalek, and against Edom. All these successful conquests are explained in this way: „The Lord gave victory to David wherever he went (II Samuel 8:6,14).1 8:1-14, These verses outline the expansion of David‟s kingdom under the hand of the Lord (v:6,14).

  • 03 Aramaic (Beyond Babel a Handbook Of
    ARAMAIC Frederick E. Greenspahn Aramaic is unique among the languages relevant to biblical studies in that, like Hebrew, it is found both within and beyond the canon. Not only are several sections of the “Hebrew” Bible (most notably Daniel and Ezra) written in Aramaic, but so are several important bodies of texts outside of the Bible that are relevant to understanding it. The name “Aramaic” comes from the Bible itself. It reports that the lead- ers of Judah asked an Assyrian general who was besieging the city of Jerusalem toward the end of the eighth century to speak to them in )araÅ mîta rather than Judean (i.e., Hebrew) so that the general population would not understand what was being said (2 Kgs 18:26 = Isa 36:11). The term is also found in Dan 2:4 and Ezra 4:7, where it indicates the shift from Hebrew to Aramaic that takes place in those verses, and in one of the papyri from Ele- phantine.1 Early Greek sources identify the language as “Syrian,”2 except at Dan 2:26, where the Old Greek uses the term “Chaldean.”3 The name is taken from that of the Aramean people, who are first mentioned by that name in the eleventh century B.C.E., when the Assyrian emperor Tiglath-pileser I reports having encountered them during a mili- tary campaign in Syria.4 There they created several small kingdoms that reached as far east as the Persian Gulf; several of these are mentioned in the Bible, including Beth-rehob, Damascus, Geshur, Hamath, Maacah, Tob, and Zobah.

  • Wars and Rumours of Wars
    Kenneth A. Kitchen, The Bible in its World: The Bible and Archaeology Today. Exeter: The Paternoster Press, 1977. Pbk. pp.168. [p.108] 7 Wars and Rumours of Wars Twin Kingdoms 1. End of an Empire In the last decade or so of his reign, Solomon’s regime was beset with problems at home and abroad. On the south, prince Hadad of Edom returned from Egyptian exile to reclaim the independence of Edom (1 Kings 11:14-22). This must have endangered Solomon’s hold on the Arabah rift valley (south from the Dead Sea) with its access to copper-deposits, and to Ezion-Geber and the Red Sea. His sources of wealth from the south, therefore, were probably curtailed. In the north, a certain Rezon gained control of Damascus and the former kingdom of Aram-Zobah (1 Kings 11:23-25). With this revolt, Solomon’s northern foreign holdings fell away completely. An independent Aram cut him off both from Hamath (now also left independent) and from the routes to the Euphrates; northern trade would suffer. Nearer home, one Jeroboam son of Nebat was heralded by a prophet as future ruler of the northern tribes of Israel as distinct from Judah and Benjamin. Solomon’s attempts to eliminate him were frustrated by Jeroboam’s flight into Egypt, he finding safe haven at the court of the new pharaoh Shishak (1 Kings 11:26-40), i.e. Shoshenq I, founder of the new, Libyan, Twenty-second Dynasty. Stripped of supporting revenues from both north and south, taxation now bore heavily upon the Hebrew people [p.109] themselves―and perhaps more upon Israel than on Judah (possibly favoured by the royal house).

    108 SUGGESTED IDE~TIFICATION OF BEROTHAH OR BEROTHAI. arguments on name-a they will be worse off than ever, since General Gordon ("Reflections in Palestine," p. 14) observed, "The Hebrew' tzion' is always the eastern hill." It will take a few bushels of names to out, weigh that of the noble hero of Khartoum. NOTES BY THE REV. G. H. TOMKINS. I. SUGGESTED IDENTIFICATION OF BEROTHAH OR BEROTHAI. THis place, so important on the northern frontier of Palestine, has never yet been fixed. The name B-r6thah, i'11i~-,:J,, is only given by Ezekiel (xlvii, 16) in setting out the boundaries of the tribes. I do not doubt that it is the B-r6thai, or B-r6thi, '11"'\~-,::J,, or '11"'\.,::J., of 2 Sam. viii, 8, a city of Hadadezer, King of Zobah, taken from him by David. I hope to show that this place may now be identified in a very interesting way, both by its name and by its probable position, and I will take the matter as it came to me, only premising that if I am wrong in separate points still my main position may hold good. In the Karnak List of Northern Syrian towns made tributary by Thothmes Ill (Mariette, "Karnak," pi. 19, 20, 21) occurs Bur-su (141). In "Proc. Soc. Bib. Arch.," Jan. 9th, 1883, I made a guess at its being possibly the Bisuru of .Assurnazirpal (now Tell Basher), but this did not satisfy me, and it occurred to my mind that the explanation might be found in the Semitic word for cypress, or perhaps pine-tree, viz., .Assyr.

  • Chastised Rulers in the Ancient Near East
    Chastised Rulers in the Ancient Near East Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree doctor of philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By J. H. Price, M.A., B.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Samuel A. Meier, Advisor Daniel Frank Carolina López-Ruiz Bill T. Arnold Copyright by J. H. Price 2015 Abstract In the ancient world, kings were a common subject of literary activity, as they played significant social, economic, and religious roles in the ancient Near East. Unsurprisingly, the praiseworthy deeds of kings were often memorialized in ancient literature. However, in some texts kings were remembered for criminal acts that brought punishment from the god(s). From these documents, which date from the second to the first millennium BCE, we learn that royal acts of sacrilege were believed to have altered the fate of the offending king, his people, or his nation. These chastised rulers are the subject of this this dissertation. In the pages that follow, the violations committed by these rulers are collected, explained, and compared, as are the divine punishments that resulted from royal sacrilege. Though attestations are concentrated in the Hebrew Bible and Mesopotamian literature, the very fact that the chastised ruler type also surfaces in Ugaritic, Hittite, and Northwest Semitic texts suggests that the concept was an integral part of ancient near eastern kingship ideologies. Thus, this dissertation will also explain the relationship between kings and gods and the unifying aspect of kingship that gave rise to the chastised ruler concept across the ancient Near East.

  • Abram the One from Beyond-The-River, and King Chedorlaomer of Elam (Genesis 14): Persia and the Formation of Judaean Ethnic Identity in a Late Patriarchal Narrative
    religions Article Abram the One from Beyond-the-River, and King Chedorlaomer of Elam (Genesis 14): Persia and the Formation of Judaean Ethnic Identity in a Late Patriarchal Narrative Gard Granerød Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Department, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion and Society, P.O. Box 5144 Majorstuen, N-0302 Oslo, Norway; [email protected] Abstract: The perception of Persia in Judaean/Jewish texts from antiquity contributed to the con- struction of a Judaean/Jewish identity. Genesis 14 gives an example of this; in it, Abra(ha)m wages war with a coalition headed by King Chedorlaomer of Elam. The article argues that Genesis 14 is one of the latest additions to the patriarchal narratives (Genesis 12–36), composed in the Persian or early Hellenistic period. It was conceived and used as an ethnic identity-forming story. The characters in the narrative represented groups and nations in the neighbourhood of the province of Judah. Abra(ha)m was perceived as the ancestor of the Judaeans and the inhabitants of the province Beyond-the-River. The King of Elam represented the Persian Empire. The article uses redaction criticism to argue that Genesis 14 is among the latest additions to the patriarchal narrative in the late Persian or Hellenistic period. Moreover, it uses a combination of philological and historical methods to argue that the description of Abra(ha)m as ha¯ ( ibrî (traditionally translated “the Hebrew,” Citation: Granerød, Gard. 2021. Gen 14: 13) characterises him as a person from the region Eber-nari¯ (Beyond-the-River). The arti- Abram the One from Beyond-the-River, cle uses similar methods to argue that the names of people and places in Genesis 14 referred to and King Chedorlaomer of Elam political entities in and around Judah.
